Numerical simulations and experiments of an elastic circular collar of a floating fish farm are reported. The floater model without netting structure is moored with nearly horizontal moorings and tested in regular deep-water waves of different steepnesses and periods without current. Local overtopping of waves were observed in steep waves. The focus here is on the vertical accelerations along the floater in the different conditions. The experiments show that higher-order harmonics of the accelerations matter. A 3D weak-scatter model with partly nonlinear effects as well as a 3D linear frequency-domain method based on potential flow are used. From their comparison against the measurements, strong 3D and frequency dependency effects as well as flexible floater motions matter. The weak-scatter model can only partly explain the nonlinearities present in the measured accelerations.

Local overtopping of waves was observed in steep waves. The focus here is on the vertical accelerations along the floater in the different conditions. The experiments show that higher-order harmonics of the accelerations matter. A three-dimensional (3D) weak-scatter model with partly nonlinear effects as well as a 3D linear frequency-domain method based on potential flow are used. From their comparison against the measurements, strong 3D and frequency dependency effects as well as flexible floater motions matter. The weak-scatter model can only partly explain the nonlinearities present in the measured accelerations.

<p>The interatomic Chebyshev Interaction Model for Efficient Simulation (ChIMES) is based on linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials describing explicit two- and three-body interactions. Recently, the ChIMES model has been developed and applied to a molten metallic system of a single atom type (carbon), as well as a non-reactive molecular system of two atom types at ambient conditions (water). Here, we continue application of ChIMES to increasingly complex problems through extension to a reactive system. Specifically, we develop a ChIMES model for carbon monoxide under extreme conditions, with built-in transferability to nearby state points. We demonstrate that the resulting model recovers much of the accuracy of DFT while exhibiting a 10<sup>4</sup>increase in efficiency, linear system size scalability and the ability to overcome the significant system size effects exhibited by DFT.</p>
